Since the appellant/plaintiff was minor, his junior maternal grandfather and maternal uncle acted as his guardians. The appellant/plaintiff was born on 02.06.1992 and he attained the age of majority on 02.06.2010. From the date of execution of settlement deed appellant/plaintiff is in possession of the suit schedule property. The junior maternal grandfather and maternal uncle of the appellant/plaintiff got the land cultivated till he returned to Rajupeta.

In the plaint it was further averred that respondent No.1/defendant No.1 has no authority to cancel the settlement deed executed in favour of the appellant/plaintiff and to execute settlement deed in favour of respondent No.2/defendant No.2.
